XCoderTools reemerged on cybercrime forums to sell XWorm 6.0, showing that the malware ecosystem still has active commercial demand. The build was priced at $500 for lifetime access and promoted as a fully re-coded release that fixes the known RCE flaw. The listing matters because it signals continuity in the XWorm market even after earlier signs that the project had been abandoned.
